[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest is 25, graduated in 2022.  He started at $85k.  He’s received two promotions and he makes $105k.  He’s a government contractor with a large “Beltway bandit” firm doing PM.

My middle one, 22 years old, just graduated and will be teaching HS math at a private school.  He will be making $55k.[/quote]

I hope your 22 years old enjoy teaching math more than I did. I quit teaching teaching 20 years ago after only 5 years to become an actuary. Tell your son to keep his options open..Actuarial science is very easy to break into for math majors and the pay is very good. It's exam based and the exams are difficult and you may have to spend up to 10 years taking exams before you become a fellow. However, it's worth the effort. Good luck to him.[/quote]

Another teacher. Congrats to both of your sons!

Teaching is TOUGH. The PP brings up a good point— teachers often leave the profession. I’ve been at it for over 20 years, and I think I hit my stride around year 8; thought about quitting a lot before that time. It’s good to have a back-up plan in case the classroom just isn’t for him. Hopefully he becomes one who loves the challenge and sticks with it! We are in such desperate need of teachers right now.

And (to the point of this thread): new teachers at our private also make about $55K, but they can also get 100% tuition reimbursement for continuing education and extra pay for duties around the school [/quote]
